Small Wood Folding Tables

and it is wood.

Wonderful size for diffusing and bouncing light while folding up fairly small.

- The folding length is very good for a small backpack is good. - Weight is very light for traveling. - Length is very convenient - Strength is very good for the camera and 600 mm lens - Installation and packing is easy - Quality of material used is very good. - Strap at top of it is very useful when doing photography over Jetty (Over Racks) - I use one Tenes ball at the end of it to stop sinking in the sand. I like it very much -

I highly recommend this. It's pretty small when folded down, so easy to travel with, and folding down is a breeze after you do it once or twice.

*knock on wood* so far so good.

This is a solid block of wood, does everything you'd want a block of wood to do.

I have owned a few slates, but this is my first from Birns & Sawyer, and I was quite impressed by the quality. The biggest difference is the wood, which is actual hardwood, and attractive wood at that. My other slates were made of MDF, and that's why they have work out or broken. I expect this to stand up to much abuse for a long time. The metal that hinges the two sticks together is in the center, in slots cut into the sticks. There is no wobble, and the tension can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the hinge screw. The color stripes are made of individual stripes of solid color plastic. My color is simply printed on my other slates, and that eventually wears off. One of the reviews for the stand-alone slate complains that this is a toy because it is so small. This size is called an insert slate, and it is intentionally small so it can be used for close-up insert shots. One would normally also own a full-size slate. The Elvid soft case holds the slate loosely. It has soft lining, is padded, and the exterior fabric and zipper both seem tough. There is a loop on the outside to hold a dry erase marker.

There is a surprising variety of good specimens in this small set. The wood case design and construction is perfect for safe storage and ease of slide selection. The quality of the mounting process is very good, insuring clear viewing and inspection.

Put this on my Small Rig GH5 cage and is sturdy and comfortable definitely would recommend especially at the price since it’s like half as much as the other wood grips.

Bought this to use with a Profoto B10 and 36 softbox on location.  Reverse folding legs make it  compact for travel, yet its taller and sturdier than other light stands I have that dont fold as small.  I especially like that the legs extend out horizontally and flat when set up.  This is very useful for balancing the weight of the head and softbox and even countering a small breeze.
